ubuntu无疑是Linux系统成功的表率,且不说他有多少好,至少在易用性方面做的是最好的!基于ubuntu系统的其他衍生系统也有很多啊!这里是20个比较常见的!估计不止这么多!
-----------------------------------------------
Whether you like Ubuntu or not, it is here to stay. Ubuntu has contributed a lot to the Linux community in sparking interest in new Linux users and opening the doors to “ease-of-use” Linux. Their Influence has spread throughout the Linux community sparking new distributions.
Here are 20 of them you should know about:
Linux Mint’s purpose is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution.
Linux
Mint is one of the surprise packages of the past year. Originally
launched as a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, it has now
developed into one of the most user-friendly distributions on the
market – complete with a custom desktop and menus, several unique
configuration tools, a web-based package installation interface, and a
number of different editions. Perhaps most importantly, this is one
project where the developers and users are in constant interaction,
resulting in dramatic, user-driven improvements with every new release.
DistroWatch has spoken to the founder and lead developer of Linux Mint,
Clement Lefebvre, about the history of the distribution.
Kubuntu is the KDE version of Ubuntu. This version comes packed with the KDE window manager instead of Gnome.
Kubuntu is a free, user-friendly operating system based on the K Desktop Environment and on the award winning Ubuntu operating system. With a biannual release cycle and at least 18 months of free security updates for each release, it is the secure, stable computing environment you’ve been waiting for. Take the tour or hear what our users have to say.
So basically if you like Ubuntu and prefer the KDE window manager you might want to install this instead of Ubuntu. It will save you the time of downloading and installing KDE and switching window managers.
Edubuntu’s
objective is to create an integrated and usable experience for
educational users by enhancing Ubuntu with educational applications,
tools, content, and themes.
“Ubuntu” is an ancient African word, meaning “humanity to others”. Edubuntu seeks to bring the freedoms and spirit of Ubuntu to children, parents, students, teachers, and schools.
Xubuntu
is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect
for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you
need – a web browser, document and spreadsheet editing software, instant
messaging and much more.
If you like Ubuntu but prefer the XFCE window manager download Xubuntu and check it out.
Gobuntu
is a GNU/Linux operating system, derived from Ubuntu, that endeavors to
adhere to the Free Software Foundation’s four freedoms and intends to
provide a base for other free software platforms to build upon with
minimal modification required. It does this by only including
open-source non-restricted software. This means there will be no
firmware, drivers, applications, or content included in Gobuntu that
does not include the full source or whose license does not provide the
right to use, study, modify, and redistribute the body of work.
Gobuntu shares the same system requirements as Ubuntu. At present, this means Gobuntu is available for 32-bit and 64-Bit PC architectures and the install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.
Ubuntu Studio. A multimedia creation flavor of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu Studio is aimed at the GNU/Linux audio, video and graphic enthusiast as well as professional.
We provide a suite of the best open-source applications available for multimedia creation. Completely free to use, modify and redistribute. Your only limitation is your imagination.
Mythbuntu
is an community supported add-on for Ubuntu focused upon setting up a
standalone MythTV based PVR system. It can be used to prepare a
standalone system or for integration with an existing MythTV network.
Unlike similar projects, Mythbuntu keeps close ties with Ubuntu and all
development is given back to Ubuntu. This architecture allows simple
conversions from a standard desktop to a Mythbuntu machine and vice
versa. The development cycle of Mythbuntu closely follows that of
Ubuntu, releasing every six months with Ubuntu releases.
The
Ubuntu Server Edition – built on the solid foundation of Debian which
is known for its robust server installations — has a strong heritage for
reliable performance and predictable evolution.
The Ubuntu Server Edition is changing the server market for businesses by delivering the best of free software on a stable, fully supported and secure platform. In the two years since initial launch Ubuntu can now be found in hundreds of organisations across the world delivering key services reliably, predictably and economically. Ubuntu Server Edition is an energy efficient, low memory and disk footprint operating system that helps build server functions that respect our environment with no compromise on agility and versatility.
Ubuntu servers are available on Amazon EC2
With
over 45,000 downloads to date, Eeebuntu Standard contains everything
you need to get working and playing on your EeePC from the beginning. It
includes a full suite of internet applications, including Firefox for
browsing, Pidgin for IM chat, and Thunderbird for mail. For work, a full
suite of OpenOffice applications; Database, Presentation, Spreadsheet
and Word – all Microsoft Office compatible; and a selection of
multimedia applications: VLC for watching movies and Banshee for
listening to music. You even have support for your iPod with gtkpod!
You
want to build your own Ubuntu based livecd, having the complete control
over the installed software but you don’t know where to start? Ubuntu
Mini Remix is here to help you!
Ubuntu Mini Remix is a fully working Ubuntu livecd containing only the minimal set of software to make the system work. Ubuntu Mini Remix ISO image is only 133MB.
After downloading Ubuntu Mini Remix you can use Ubuntu Customization Kit, Reconstructor or any other tool to remaster the ISO and add the software/configurations you want, building your own Ubuntu based livecd.
CrunchBang
Linux is an Ubuntu based distribution featuring the lightweight Openbox
window manager and GTK+ applications. The distribution is developed
from a minimal Ubuntu install and has been designed to offer a good
balance of speed and functionality.
OzOs
is an elegant stable environment of beauty, specifically “The Reality
Different”. OzOS is built on Xubuntu or to be more exact a Debian base
and utilizes the sexy Enlightenment 17 Desktop. This is a special
version of e17 that is brought to you by the most discriminating e17
user: Rui Pais; with his precious time and Enlightenment knowledge, he
has created a Distro that is OzOS. Rui’s easy “e17 SVN Deb” was the
founding blueprint for the OzOS Live CD(With Installer) RC.
In reaction to the Ubuntu Christian version we have:
Ubuntu SE is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. It brings together the best free software and free metal music on one CD.
You can also upgrade your existing Ubuntu installation with a comprehensive set of themes to make your desktop dark and malevolent. Don’t worry; you can easily change your system back if you intend to recant.
OpenGEU
completes the missing parts of the E17 Desktop Shell and WM with a
certain number of tools and applications from the Gnome Desktop.
In OpenGEU you can find a classic Ubuntu set of applications mixed with those provided and created from and for E17. Since this would not be enough for an easy integration of Gnome and E17, OpenGEU introduces a number of new E17 modules, applications and configurations specifically designed by the OpenGEU Team for you to enjoy a new and easier desktop experience! You’ll discover a finally usable and productive Enlightenment 0.17 Desktop, even if you are a beginner!
The
main goal of nUbuntu is to create a distribution which is derived from
the Ubuntu distribution, and add packages related to security testing
and remove unneeded packages. nUbuntu is the result of an idea two
people had to create a new distribution for the learning experience back
in early 2006, when Ubuntu was in its still early stages. nUbuntu
started many years ago as a project with the intent for its developers
to learn about distribution development and quickly evolved into a full
scale project after recieving a large community response. Currently
today, we have many developers and a large contributing communinty.
Anyone interested in helping may do so by contributing ideas and
packages directly to the nUbuntu developers.
Since
our debut in 2007, gOS has been praised for being the most beautiful
and easiest to use Linux operating system on the market. Now with our
third and best version of gOS, we have carried on our effort to create a
Linux for the rest of us.
Ubuntu
Server Edition JeOS (pronounced “Juice”) is an efficient variant of our
server operating system, configured specifically for virtual
appliances. Currently available as a CD-Rom ISO for download, JeOS is a
specialised installation of Ubuntu Server Edition with a tuned kernel
that only contains the base elements needed to run within a virtualized
environment.
Users deploying virtual appliances built on top of JeOS will benefit from:
Ubuntu
MID Edition targets an exciting new class of computers called Mobile
Internet Devices. Ubuntu MID, based on the world’s most popular Linux
distribution, and MID hardware from OEMs and ODMs, is redefining what
can be done in mobile computing.
Ubuntu MID Edition, a fully open source project, gives the full Internet, with no compromise. Custom options may include licensed codecs and popular third-party applications.
Ubuntu
Netbook Remix is optimised to run on a new category of affordable
Internet-centric devices called netbooks. It includes a new
consumer-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily get
on-line and use their favourite applications. This interface is
optimised for a retail sales environment.
Canonical has collaborated with Intel and is working with a number of OEM’s to deliver Ubuntu on netbooks in retail. In keeping with the philosophy of our best work being available to everyone, the core remix product is available to all through the Canonical repositories. This version is free to download and modify by any user.
Kiwi
Linux is slightly a modified Ubuntu Desktop/Install CD for the i386
architecture, that is in sync with Ubuntu’s release cycles and uses its
package archives. Hence it is easy to switch to and from Ubuntu and all
the security and bugfix updates from Ubuntu are getting into Kiwi Linux
automatically.
The latest release, Kiwi Linux 9.04 is based on Ubuntu 9.04. Differences from it include :

You also missed out Upup (Jaunty Puppy) which is a meta-distribution being developed alongside the Woof package management system to allow it to use various distributions repositories so you get every application you could want easily on a liveCD, by Barry Kauler Puppy Linux’s old top dog.
Karmic Puppy is also in the works but that may be a while as I think Puppy Linux want him back to sort of Puppy 5.0 for them.

From the wiki http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_Live :
XBMC Live is a boot-CD with XBMC Media Center pre-configued to work directly out-of-the-box without touching the users harddrive for demo purposes. Once booted, XBMC Live will give the user the option to either just run it as a demo from only the CD (not touching your harddrive) or do a permanent installation of XBMC Live complete with embedded operating-system onto a 2GB (or larger) USB-flash-memory-stick or your internal harddrive for a dedicated set-top-box style installation of XBMC.
